Questions about Sencha Touch - sencha-touch

I have done some project using Sencha Touch -> www.estof.net/sencha (php + sencha). I want to ask you guys some questions:
a) I want to create app using sencha and upload to iPad. My app will work only if i connected to wifi or whatever internet?
b) For example i did some application, draw icon. Can I put it on iPad? Then click on icon and my application will work? (will be nice if app tried even to connect to Internet, but APP ICON will be on iPad)
c) Or sencha using only as a web-site?

Sencha apps can work in offline mode. This is done by using a manifest file to cache the required files. This will explain more about it. This is another tutorial using phone gap.
Yes you can create app icons for your apps. In this link, you can see an attribute named 'icon' which specifies the images to be used as the icon. In safari when you take your site, and press the option button on the bottom, there is an option to 'ADD to Home Screen'. This option will add the icon to the home screen.
If you go to the sencha forums and check their showcase section you can see many apps that are actually sold in the app store.
The upcoming version of Sencha is said to have their own api's to access native feature of a phone os. Its more detailed on their website.

I am making a Windows 10 hosted Webb app following this. Now when the user press the back button on the phone, it seems that it just quit the app. I want the app just go back to the previous page.How can I do that? I have read this but this is for C#. How about the case for Web App? Thanks!
Since Windows 10 UWP apps are being shipped without any templates, there is a GitHub project which contains many code examples to add to your Windows 10 application. Here's the project which implements a back button and multiple navigation features utilizing controls. It works on both Windows 10 Mobile and Desktop.
Link to project which implements SplitView (Back button and hamburger):

How can you change the ICON for a APP in the MFQA server?
MobileFirst Quality Assurance will show the icon that was added to the app. It does not provide a way to change the icon in the All Apps console.

Windows 8 App with Share contract only

Is it possible to create an app that "only" shows while using Share charm? I do not want the fullscreen app to be opened via live tile as there is no content to be displayed. I want it to be displayed only through Share charm.
No, it is not possible for an app to be shown only as a Share target. All Windows Store apps have a tile on the Start Screen that can be used to launch the app.

How to programmatically lock an iPad app into one single application?

we are doing a product display iPad app and don't want customers to be able to quit the app pressing the home button. We're planning to use only UIGesture to let the admin users to quit. How to programmatically lock an iPad app into one single application without install any third party app or profile?
There is a feature for this added in iOS 6 Beta 2 called Guided Access, see http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/06/26/ios-6-guided-access/
Install the iPhone Configuration Utility: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1465?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Make a .mobileconfig with the SBStoreDemoAppLock property set to true
Install the mobile config on the device.
Installation of the mobile config can be done using either the iPCU app or by opening the file with Safari on the device.
Now the device is in kiosk mode and the home button is disabled.
Remove the .mobileconfig file (again using the iPCU app) and reboot the device to re-enable the home button.
I believe that the common solution to this problem is a case that covers the home and power buttons. In practice, you'll want something that is fairly robust to prevent theft of the iPad, and that neatly covers access to the dock connector whilst providing power.
A quick google search of iPad kiosk case turns up plenty of options. Use of iPads as PoS displays in stores and at trade shows is incredibly popular.

Can you build a Windows 8 Live Tile that Launches A Website Instead of a Metro App?

Live Tiles are the "front door" for metro apps on Windows 8. Can you instead launch a website instead of a Metro app?
Could you write an app that just does one thing, and that is to launch the browser with the specified Uri:
Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("http://my.website.com"));
That has the advantage that it is represented as a traditional app rather than a pinned site, so you can style the tile as you wish.
The closest thing I could find is pinned sites or site tiles.
It doesn't look like you can customize the look and feel of these site tiles, but you can update them with notification counts.
